"We Ui’.iught,” said one of !he iioiv:--
The eager though futile gossip of
peace which lately has iieen abu*t
takes a singularly; interesting turn
in the day’s story from p>ndons to the
effect that as early aa last MarcU
Austro-Germsn overtures were made
to Russia. Telegrams said to be tak
en from the Italian Grwn Book, which
tes just 1>eeo publish^, are made tJie
basis of this report. It seems that
the first indication of'.peace proposals
w'as a message from the Italian -amr
lias^dor at Petrograd to; the Italian
foreign office iinder date of Marck 29,
in which the ambassador said be learn
ed from an unimpe«ichable source
that serious offers had been addi^essed
jto the Russian government.” A week
or se later, runs the London story,
similar advices readied Rome from
Nish and Sofia; and on. April 3.3, it is
declared; the Italian ambassador tit
Berlin wired his government; “Rum
ors of a moveinent for separate peace
are persistently maintained, and ara
constantly gaining ground.”
If these bits of evidence are authen
tic, they establish the very interesting
fact that nearly four months ago the
Dual .\llianee was seeking to adjust
its issues with Russia, However, far
Ihc proposals may have gone, if pro?
posalg there were, they won no rer
sponM. Nor is it likely that any
such overtures will avail so long as
the War remains at its present junc
ture. Russia, France, Great Britain,
Italy and the smaller nations leagued
with them, are bound not only by
solemn agreement but also by the un
derlying necessities of the situatim^
to stand together until a peace ac
ceptable to them can be effected,
Russia’s military fortunes are un
deniably at the ebb, but her vast re
serve of human and natural resources
keeps her dismayed. Petrograd could
be taken v^ithout driving Russia from
the field. The Allies know how
tremendous for each and *11 of them
is the consequeiicc that hangs upon
'this struggle; they cannot affocd to
do otherwise than ('Rht unitedly to
